OH DEAR.

Fox News 9 committed an unfortunate blunder yesterday during a story about American football player Ray Rice, who apologised for hitting his wife at a casino in February.

Instead of airing his apology, they showed a clip of the now-infamous Dublin ‘Spiderman’, who went incredibly viral after a video of him fighting off an attacker found its way online earlier this week.
